Following the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979, photographs of women uncovered were forbidden, resulting in the burning down of many photographers' studios. This work is a collection of pioneering photographs from the early twentieth century, which offers a window on the changing face of Iranian society during that period.
